There was a social media post the other day that said, There is Corona virus and then there is Tiger King and nothing else.

Many people have been taking this time at home to binge Watch The Netflix series.

Tiger King The Docuseries follows a society of big cat owners and conservationists.

One of those people is Don Luis, who has been missing since 1997.

Lewis was married to Carol Baskin, the target of a murder for hire plot highlighted in the series.

Since the show's premiere, Theo Hillsborough County, Florida, sheriff's office has seen an influx of tips and that sheriff joins us now.

You said that there hasn't been any action on this case since 2011 and now you're getting about half a dozen tips per day.

I think it's It's made in the leads possible that popularity popularity of this series has helped generate leads about 1/2 a dozen a day.

Lee's most are people who end up watching the Siri's and wanted to send an email or make a telephone call, and they just want to give their theory hate.

This is how he died, and this is who did.

So any of those tips that you've gotten so far have they actually been viable or lead?

We do have a detective supervisor who's coming through every single tip that comes in.

But I have to tell you I remain optimistic, I'm sure, hoping as this Siri's continues to gain popularity, someone will feel comfortable coming forward and providing that missing piece that will help us solve this case.

What's the status of the investigation at this time?

And again, I'm hoping if you watch this series you you saw that a lot of times they all thought one was firing on one another.

X century complicated, and they didn't trust anyone.

So you almost had to prove your allegiance on a daily basis.

Some hoping maybe one of those relationship soured now, or someone again feels more comfortable now that it's being talked about and comes forward and helps us bring justice.

So you're among the millions of people who have seen the show.

Anything in there that you haven't checked out already?

You know, some of the theories that were proved wrong was Hey, you guys need to check the septic tank check.

The septic tank wasn't installed until years after his disappearance.

Then it the Siri's leads you to believe that.

Check the meat grinders that you know, you have to take a DNA swab on wheat meat grinders.

They had been removed before his disappearance.

Uh, what wealthy person do you ever know?

Or did you have you ever heard about that?

Leaves and leaves his wealth behind, has a relationship with his Children, yet leaves this ship, leaves his shoulder behind.

And then one piece that everyone continue talked continues to talk about is the will.

Have you ever, ever heard of a will that has a disappearance.

Klaus, if I ever disappear, leave my wealth to this person, right?

I when I was watching, I have to admit, I've watched and I haven't gotten through the whole thing yet.

But that was the thing that really struck me is super odd.

I mean, And when you've asked that question, have they said that they've ever seen such a will?

That doesn't say upon my demise, but it says upon my disappearance, Yes.

And like I said, that's certainly suspicious.

And you go back, though, you know, she insists that a lot of others.

Well, that's that's not the case that we can see.

Yes, two passports, but neither one almost flag that he ever left the country.

No passenger manifest on a private plane or commercial plane.

So I'm gonna tell you what I truly believe that that he never, never let the country what's it like to work on a case that has become a true pop culture phenomenon?

More importantly, I hope this is spanned over the careers of a lot of sheriffs.

Almost four shares, and I'm hoping that I'm the one with the hard work of these detectives.

And again with the popularity of this Netflix Terry's that we can solve this this case once and for all.
